Deliver powerful insights that help your organisation focus on what really matters. Fast.

Wouldn’t it be nice if BI staff were free to focus on what really matters?

BI teams can be a tremendous asset for any organisation. But less so if their days are spent wrestling with outdated reporting tools to produce largely static reports.

Power BI (running in the Microsoft cloud) enables BI teams to present and share data in visual, intuitive and interactive ways quickly and easily - so all departments can access, explore and understand the right data whenever they need it - even on their mobile device. And imagine a world where end users can create their own data visualisations by simply typing in a question, the sort of question they’d typically email to the BI team! With its powerful and intuitive self-serve features, the highlight of which is the smart Q&A tool, Power BI allows end users to create their own data visualisations, save and share them in just seconds!

Power BI frees up the BI team to focus on data quality and data analysis. It also enables all users to monitor and share performance statistics and uncover new insights quickly and easily – leading to better and quicker decisions and improved performance.

Additional collaboration features become available for Power BI when it’s used alongside our other digital workspace solutions - just ask us for more information.
